Comparative Democratization Comparative Democratization Comparative Democratization Comparative Democratization

Course SummaryCourse SummaryCourse SummaryCourse Summary

The proliferation of democratically elected governments around the world since the mid-1970s has resulted in the reference of the contemporary world as the “democratic age”. Samuel Huntington argues that we are in the Third Wave of Democratization (Huntington, 1991). Freedom House has characterized the trend toward democratization as reinforcement that humankind is rejecting oppression and opting for greater freedom and openness. The 80s and 90s, especially, underscored an apparent belief that authoritarianism had served people ill, in terms of failing to provide material prosperity, stability, human rights or political inclusion of the masses in decision-making. As a result of these events, comparative democratization has become an important area of academic study for scholars of comparative politics and international relations.

This course is a senior level undergraduate seminar and it examines the core conceptual features of democratic theory, complex democratic transitions in practice, as well as varying configurations of democratic consolidation and performance. Topics to be examined are the democratic idea, democracy and institutions, the political-economy of democracy, and democracy and culture. The course will cover countries in key advanced industrial world, developing world and ‘transitional’ regions including the North America and Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, as well as Post-Communist Central-Eastern Europe-the former Soviet Union and its successor states.

TeachingTeachingTeachingTeaching/Learning/Learning/Learning/Learning Format Format Format Format

MC492 is a senior seminar and thus will be delivered in a non-traditional teaching format.

Rather than viewing this course merely as a series of professor lectures through which you will gain information, approach the course as a semester long research workshop in which you are a central facilitator-agent. The seminar is reading, writing and oral presentation intensive. I will not provide lectures but instead act as the lead facilitator of numerous books and journal article readings. Together, we will gain content knowledge of democracy through our elaborate, critical discussions and analyses on each session’s readings. While there will be a number of smaller individualized assignments as well as group assignments to gauge your acquisition of the content knowledge required throughout the course; your main assignment – final research paper- will be to successfully develop, write and present a 20 page research paper on an issue in democracy that we have learned applied to a country of your choice. It is important that you approach this assignment in a simulative manner as a kind of practicum. What I mean is that you’ll be expected to make gradual progress toward your final papers at each stage of the course.

Please also note that formal classroom instruction will be conducted utilizing effective learning

technologies, including instructional audio-visual props and Angel online resources. In addition to exposing you to and delivering to you complex, deep, broad and interdisciplinary knowledge about democracy in comparative, historical and theoretical contexts, at this stage of your academic rank, the senior seminar delivery method seeks to capstone the skills and talents that require your success in the social science careers. Also, remember that the senior seminar research paper fulfills your IR writing portfolio requirement. Please consult with your advisor or with me regarding graduation procedures for submittal of your portfolio.
